Is there a (easy) way to write phonetic transcriptions using the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) in ConTeXt? I can't find any reference to it in the documentation.

I did that some time ago, but I can speak only for macOS. You want to have:

- fonts supporting phonetic symbols (both in the text editor and for the output); - an IPA keyboard layout;

You might try the text substitutions service: System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. One chooses replacement text and what it should be substituted into. See the thread "Input methods" for an automated approach to generating large substitution sets.

The text editor I use is (Mac)Vim, which has very good Unicode support.

Xcode has a good UTF-8 editor. But text substitutions can be used in any program supporting it: Mail, Text Edit.
